Part 4 - Ecological
Footprint, Destruction
Of Wilderness, Impact On Land & Animals, Quality Of Life

You’ve
heard the adage, “You can’t cheat Mother Nature. She always bats last.”
Whether she creates a Hurricane Katrina or a severe drought in California,
Mother Nature plays by her own rules. In other words, she can let us
live or snuff us out.

Thus,
the more Americans impacting our environment, the more the
environment struggles with “Ecological Footprint.” William Rees
created the term in 1992 from his research on the impact of humans on
a given amount of land.

For
example, with 8.3 million Americans living in New York City, they
impact the environment more than 100 rangers and crew operating in
Rocky Mountain National Park near my home in Colorado.

First
of all, let’s understand that America faces an added 100,000,000
(million) legal immigrants within the next 30 years “if” we fail
to stop mass immigration by using our voices to force Congress to
change course. Every person reading this series understands the
incredible impact of that number from reading my previous work,
especially “Tragedy of the Commons” and “Overshoot into the
Future.”

I
am willing to bet that this series will prove the death knoll of the
United States as a sustainable and stable civilization as we steam
into the consequences by adding that 100 million more legal
immigrants. Or, enough citizens understand what’s coming and
demand a change in our immigration laws: Thus, the slogan
“Immigration Shutdown Now.”

Other
than my readership, most Americans don’t understand the underlying
ramifications because everything looks “just fine” right now. In
fact, most Americans don’t hold a clue as to what’s coming—much
like the passengers on the Titanic. They continued dancing two hours
after the iceberg collision. It wasn’t until the last two hours
before it sank that everyone understood his or her dire predicament.

Same
with Americans in 2015! We think water, energy and resources will
remain plentiful forever. As you read this series, you know we all
face a different reality with another 100 million legal immigrants.

Okay,
what constitutes an “Ecological Footprint”? For an example,
Ethiopia housed 35 million people in 1980. Today, at 94 million,
they expect to grow to 130-140 million by 2050. It’s called
“population momentum”, i.e., like a brakeless car racing down a
hill at 60 miles per hour with no way to stop—it increases its
speed. Population momentum increases as numbers rise.

Today,
one Ethiopian uses .4 acres of land to live a primitive life. But
when he or she immigrates to the United States, their “Ecological
Footprint” jumps to 25.4 acres. Why? Answer: they move into a
house with a furnace, electricity, water, fans, microwave, hot
shower, air conditioning, iron, washer-dryer, shaving and curling
irons. That single person must be fed, new home, new roads, new
schools, malls, sewage treatment plants, more coal and gas to heat
and transport him or her. (Source: www.AllSpecies.org,
US ecogical footprint)

Their
“Ecological Footprint” jumps from .4 acres to over 25.4 acres—or
more than 50 times the impact they once caused the planet.

Now,
understand that we remain on course to add 100,000,000 (million)
legal immigrants from Africa and around the world. Why? Because they
destroyed their countries with their burgeoning 80 million more of
themselves every year to such a degree that they flee(d) their
countries to come to America for a better life. The third world
loves using America, Canada, Australia and Europe for a “human
exhaust valve” to allow them to keep procreating 80,000,000 new
babies annually with no responsibility for the outcome.

Multiple
100,000,000 legal immigrants X’s 25.4 acres of American land. That
equals 2.54 billion
acres
of American land that must be destroyed to service those 100 million
people.

Now
ask yourself the question: how will that make our already
air-polluted cities better? How will it decrease gridlocked traffic?
How will it ease acid rain? How will it improve our current
extinction rate of 250 species annually here in the USA? (Source:
Department of the Interior) How will that 100 million immigrants
improve our quality of life and our standard of living? How will
that number improve our available water, energy and resources?

You’re
scratching your head with the question: what in the heck are we
doing to ourselves and our children?

Realize
this fact: once that 100 million legal immigrants lands on our
shores, they become our problem. We must feed them, house them,
clothe them, educate them, transport them, work them and so much more
with so much less. In the process, we lost 2.54 billion acres of
land to concrete, asphalt, steel, glass and another 80 to 100 million
more vehicles on our roads. We increased our consumption and
pollution rates by 100 million times.

Question:
where do the animals go? Where do they find habitat to live and
procreate their own kind? Where does the grizzly, elk, bald eagle,
sand hill crane and other divine creates flee to survive?

Do
we want another 100 million immigrants? Can we sustain them and still
sustain ourselves and our fellow creatures?

The
sobering and point blank answer: not a snowball’s chance in hell!
We face becoming a third world country ourselves. As Forrest Gump’s
mother said, “Stupid is as stupid does.”

In
the forthcoming parts of this series, you will see the environmental,
resource and sociological consequences we face. None of it pretty!
It all devolves into irreversible consequences and unsolvable
problems.

That’s
why we need an “Immigration Shutdown Now”.

That’s
why you need to take action. Send this series to everyone in your

We must force Congress into an “Immigration Shutdown Now.”
